Billown Mooar Standing Stone
Archaeology
Undated standing stone.
This granite pillar stands in the valley between the drumlins which form the hills at Billown and Skibrick.
It stands adjacent to landscaped water features which were created during the 20th century in front of Billown House. These lakes themselves are a development of a series of dams which have been used to manage the flow of water therough this valley and south towards Castletown.
The stone therefore lacks the landmark qualities of some of its neighbours, but nevertheless there is a well established local tradition that the Billown 'Circle' (PRN 0146) and the standing stones surrounding it are closely associated.
